A dockerised version of the CP-ABE Toolkit
This Dockerfile allows you to build a container for the CP-ABE Toolkit originally described and implemented by Bethencourse, Sahai and Waters [1, 2]. The libbswabe library [2], written by Bethenecourt, and PBC library [3] are used by this Dockerfile as required dependencies to run CP-ABE Toolkit.
Clone or download the Dockerfile. In a terminal, navigate to location of Dockerfile and run the following command:
docker build -t cp-abe .
The Docker image can then be started by using the following command:
docker run --name="cp-abe-container" -d cp-abe
You can then start an interactive shell for the container using the following command:
docker exec -it cp-abe-container /bin/bash
The commands cpabe-setup, cpabe-keygen, cpabe-enc, cpabe-dec should be accessible from the terminal. See [2] for documentation on usage.
